More Sampa

After her strenuous exercise, Sampa got water (I held a hose over one of the nostrils in her trunk; after a few minutes she put her trunk in her mouth and sprayed the water into it. Most of the water -- I also got a fair amount of it, which I suspect she found amusing.)

And then some bamboo. Her trunk is amazingly dextrous; she held each stalk of bamboo and stripped the leaves off, then snapped the stalk into two pieces and stuffed them in her mouth.
